SOURCE: wont start

The problem is likely in the injection module which is located in the dash right behind the flip down tray to the right of the flip down fuse door the the left of the steering wheal.To test simply rapidly slap the fuse/vanity flip down door area while starting the car and it will start.I have had 5 preludes and all have the same problem a replacement is 150 or you can sotter all the connections on the board inside the fuel injection module.This will fix the problem as the original connections develop miniscule cracksAll preludes have this problem in really hot or cold weather

possibly could be a base plate gasket leak from under carb, very common, or a vacuum hose leak

SOURCE: i just bought a 1992 honda prelude, what kind of coolant do i use

50/50 ratio of regular Anti-freeze. Prestone is pretty popular. also consider getting your coolant flushed and filled instead....chances are it hasn't been done anytime before you bought it. it will prevent headaches and save your engine as well. One over heat situation and its likely your engine will be turned into garbage.Heat kills engines.

SOURCE: 1992 Honda Prelude Si brake caliper piston prob

As your car has a handbrake fitted to the rear calipers,you will need a piston wind in tool to retract the piston fully back into the caliper as when you adjust your handbrake the piston automatically winds itself to the required position for usage without this tool you are getting nowhere,so get hold of a tool to do the job and you should not have problem unless the piston has totally siezed on the screw then you will have a problem being the only way to repair would to be a new or refurbished caliper.

Testimonial: "Thank you so much-had no idea about the tool-exactly what I needed!"

I have a 1984 prelude that will not idle, sometimes it will idle at 1500-2000 rpms for a short time then drop down and die. It does rough idle at around 800 sometimes
while running try spraying starter fluid around intake manifold if any change you have vacuume leak. most likely the ecm says i have to much air so that is why it dies it changes gas and air flow

IM JUST WONDERING HOW HARD IT IS TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR IN MY 1995 HONDA ACCORD EX 4 CYLINDER VTEC
Hi, you have to remove the power steering pump to get the alternator out. Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

1994-95 Accord

See Figure 4
EXCEPT V-6 MODELS
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable, then the positive cable.
Remove the power steering pump.
  • Drain the fluid from the system as follows:
    1. Disconnect the pump return hose from the reservoir and place the end in a large container. Plug the port in the reservoir.
    2. Start the engine and allow it to run at fast idle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times, until fluid stops running from the hose. Shut off the engine immediately; don't run the pump without fluid.
    3. Reattach the hose.

  • Disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses at the pump. Remove the drive belt.
  • Remove the mounting bolts/nuts and remove the pump.
    • jturcotte_1292.gif

    Fig. Fig. 1: Once the drive belt and mounting nuts/bolts are removed from the pump, it can be removed from the engine
    .


    1. Unplug the multi-connector from the back of the alternator.
    2. Remove the terminal nut and remove the wire from the terminal.
    3. Loosen the through-bolt, adjustment locknut, and the adjusting bolt.
    4. Remove the belt from the alternator.
    5. Remove the adjustment nut and bolt.
    6. Remove the through-bolt and the alternator.
    jturcotte_1293.gif

    Fig. Fig. 4: Alternator mounting on 1994-95 Accords


    To install:

    1. Fit the alternator into place. Install the through-bolt and tighten it to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
    2. Install the adjustment bolt and nut.
    3. Install the belt and adjust the tension. Tighten the locknut to 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm).
    4. Connect the wire to the terminal and tighten the nut.
    5. Engage the multi-pin connector to the alternator.
    6. Install the power steering pump.
      1. Install in reverse order. Adjust the belt tension, fill the reservoir and bleed the air from the system. Tighten the bolts/nuts to the following:

        1984-85 Accord and Prelude pivot bolt 32 ft. lbs. (45 Nm); adjusting nut 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm) 1986-89 Accord pivot bolt 28 ft. lbs. (39 Nm); adjusting nut 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm) 1986-87 Prelude pivot bolt and mounting nut 28 ft. lbs. (39 Nm) 1990-93 Accord through bolt 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm); mounting nut 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm) 1988-91 Prelude mounting nuts and bolts 35 ft. lbs. (49 Nm) 1994-95 Accord mounting nuts 17 ft. lbs. (24 Nm) 1992-95 Prelude mounting nuts and bolts 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm)
      2. Properly enable the SRS system, if equipped, and connect the negative battery cable.


      SYSTEM BLEEDING

      1. Make sure the reservoir is filled to the FULL mark; do not overfill.
      2. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
      3. Turn the steering wheel from side-to-side several times, lightly contacting the stops.
      4. Turn the engine OFF .
      5. Check the fluid level in the reservoir and add if necessary.
    7. Connect the positive battery cable, then the negative cable.

    I have a 1996 honda prelude i have changed everything in the coolant system and it still over heats what could possibly be causing this
    im sorry to tell you that after changing all components in cooling system, (Im assuming this included the waterpump?) your problem is most likely being caused from cylinder head gasket failure. Removal of the cylinder head to replace this gasket should only be undertaken by a very mechanically minded person. Good luck.

    Where do I find the stick to check transmision fluid on a 1984 prelude?
    The manuel trans doesn't have one just a plug in the side of the case that it should be filled to. Even the manual trans uses ATF anyway. The auto the stick is under the air filter box and is hard to get to. it has a red looped handle with a lock clip holding it in.

    Puting vac hoses back on and carberater on a 1984
    The engine and emission control system covered by this information operate on a combination of vacuum and electrical signals; they are extremely prone to malfunctions due to improper vacuum connections. If a component does not receive vacuum at the correct time, it cannot function when needed. When working under the hood, pay close attention to the routing and placement of every hose.

    1986 honda prelude heater
    Radiator flushes can cause more problems than fix sometimes. Before you go removing the dash first replace the thermostat if you follow the lower radiator hose to the engine this is the thermostat housing.Remove the three 10mm bolts and the housing should come apart. Make sure you put the thermostat in the right way and not upside down. The larger end with the spring goes in first toward the engine and the little vent should be on top. When you fill it back up with a 60/40 mixture of coolant make sure you open the bleed hole on the thermostat housing to get out any air and tighten when coolant comes out with no air bubbles. Start the car and hopefully the heat is better. If not the heater core is the two coolant hoses on the firewall remove both hoses and check the flow with a water hose put the hose to both sides to get out any debris. If the flow is slow and does not improve you will have to pull out the heater core which means removing most of the lower dash pulling out the evaporator if you have A/C. Make sure you get a manual. Hope this helps.
